30 Day Poetry Challenge: 4

Day 4: Write a haiku (a three line poem where the first line has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables, and the third line has 5 syllables). Haikus are often about nature, but yours can be about anything.



'Summer'

Laptop becomes my best friend
Months are long but days stretch further
September seems so far away

30 Day Poetry Challenge: 3

Day 3: Find the nearest book (of any kind). Turn to page 8. Use the first ten full words on the page in a poem. You may use them in any order, anywhere in the poem.

Ok, so the book is The Knight by Gene Wolf, ha, don't ask! The words which I'll need to use are:
That World Is Called (Mythgarthr) I Did Not Learn 'til later...

OK! This is a tough one because it doesn't actually give you any subject to write about so I'm going to write about... A Song Of Ice And Fire!

I travel the land and sell my sword
To the lords that have most gold
'Til called to battle I keep my word
A brave warrior, valiant and bold
In a far away world, Westeros by name
And killing is my game.

I never knew my father's name
My mother did not say
It's a time where nothing stays the same
Winter is coming some day

In a far away world, Westeros by name
And killing is my game.

As a boy the sigils I did learn
And motto of each  house and family
But I prefer to think of the gold I earn
No time for fools and gallantry


In a far away world, Westeros by name
And killing is my game.

30 Day Poetry Challenge: 2

Day 2: Who was the last person you texted? Write a five-line poem to that person.

Lol

To eating junk we are prone
Who's fault is this? Unknown
You look like a llama
You love your mama
And together we watch Game Of Thrones


Hehe, fun little one :) :)

30 Day Poetry Challenge: 1


Day 1: Write a poem where each line starts with a letter from your first name (an Acrostic). It can be about anything, but it should not be about you or your name.


King of land and sky he sails with ever stronger wings 
Against all odds and stronger men he conquers all and wins
Taking what is always owed, my heart bleeds for him 
In the darkness he arrives and urges me to sin
Everlasting in his plight to never sink, but swim
